Without spending your money, I say " Go." What have you to lose but some money and time.
If I had a chance for these last two, I would. It is live and powerful to me. I have heard so many shows from the past, the idea of a show they haven't done before is exciting. What's next and all.
I think they are a great band.

As in you've listened to so many shows on the Archive that the idea of new live music is exciting. Or something.
I'm curious. Does the act of watching a concert vid change the musical experience from an aud? I'm sad that nugs.net brought down the hammer. It's just business you know. I was looking forward to irvine.

Luckily there is a lot of GD on video between Voodonola and GD on Music Vault .

I listened to New Year's 1987 audio many many times and was way into it as an energetic and rocking show. When I got the video and DVD, still to this day I watch it and the rocking music does not fit with how they are barely moving or emoting on stage. It kinda bums me out to watch the video, it looks more boring than if I just listen to the audio only. Watching video of some of the daytime shows from 1989 and early 90s can be a bummer for me because you can see the dandruff on Jerry's shirt and he just looks bad and slobbish and unhealthy (as do Phil and Brent at times). But getting to watch 1972 GD in Europe when they were energetic and thin and (relatively) healthy enhances the audio for me. Copenhagen DVD!

It just seems like you are treating this band's music as a continuation of the GD's catalog as if they got back together or something.
I'm not trying to break your balls,but this what troubles me about the post Jerry music that is out there.It is becoming intertwined with the real music and for me that is unacceptable.

Ooh, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
No, no, ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
But Merle says:
No, it's not love, not like ours was
It's not love, but it keeps love from driving me mad
And I don't have to wonder who she's had
No, it's not love, but it's not bad

The fact that three of the players on this version also participated in the 2016 version with that plaid short set wearing douche bag is sad.

And with this simple experiment you saved a bunch of money.

Re, your post about on a good slice here in NY - Patsy's on the upper west side is excellent. However, nothing beats pizza from my home town, Detroit - Buddy's or Shields ....

I have never been to Patsy's,but my cousin has been touting it for years and one of these days I will have to give it a try.I've managed to try most of the highly recommended places.
I have only been to Detroit once back in the early 80's and sadly did not have any pizza.You might find this interesting if you weren't already aware.It certainly looks tasty.

For me, I have never heard, seen or wanted to any of the versions of GD after 95. For the first time last year I thought I would give it a try. I watched the 5 shows and it was an event more than the music but it was OK. It was more the songs than the band that I enjoyed. Trey did not do much for me really.
With Deadco, I love this band and how they sound. It is more than just hearing the old songs. It sounds big, loud and together, if that means anything. The bookends of Jeff and Oteill add a lot of full sound and I like the tone of Mayer's guitar too. And it is live music with the excitement that brings with it. I remember the fun of what will they play next and the surprises which I do not have listening to shows over again.
So as I try to put the two together GD and Deadco, I think of growing up in New York and having a "pie". Just 3 ingredients, a thin crust, simple sauce and mozzarella, a fourth if you count the grease. It folds in half perfectly and right down she goes. To this day I would rather have a slice of cheese than almost anything else. Just the best.
I moved to Texas and the first thing I noticed is all the toppings and stuff they put on it, so many varieties. The crust is like cardboard, the sauce thick and the cheese doesn't melt right. You say you want a "pie" and they look at you crazy. Here it is called pizza. And since my wife likes the Supreme or whatever with the toppings we usually get that. It is Ok but it not what I grew up with. But if I just call it pizza and not pie it is fine.
I can still go back to New York and I do, and get a pie. I can't go back to GD live again. So I listen and enjoy the Deadco. I just call it pizza.
I know that doesn't speak of your thoughts but I wanted to share mine.

It's getting harder and harder to get a good slice here in NY,but I will appreciate it more next time thinking about you and the horror of the supreme in Texas.

You are going to be very surprised no matter where you go as to how much things have changed here.I hope you have a good time while visiting.I will be that NY pizza snob guy and say that outside of NY it is very difficult to find anything resembling a genuine pizza.
If I were you I would pass on Deadco like you would pass on a slice at Bubba's Pizza and Ribs in Mobile Al.
